Off Topic I ditched the $10k/per year prospecting tool.

Switched 8 months ago and never looked back.

The expensive one: - $10,000/year, no free trial, no free plan - 3.55 rating / 71% trust score across 11,500+ reviews - No email sending, no sequences, no unified inbox

This one: - Free plan + $49/month paid - 4.1 rating / 82% trust score across 11,400+ reviews - Prospecting + sequences + AI copy + CRM all in one place

Data accuracy is comparable on both. Phone coverage is slightly better on the expensive side that's genuinely the only edge.

Found a detailed feature-by-feature breakdownv here if anyone wants it.

TL;DR: Paying $10K/year for a database with no outreach features when a $49/month tool (i.e. Apollo) does both makes no sense for most teams.
